Did you ever.... Have one of those icky headaches that starts with seven pints of beer, and ends up the next morning making you feel really nauseated? I need to get some Berocca.

Ouch! I hate it when I wake up with a kink in my neck. I must have over done it when I was moving that stuff yesterday, now I can't turn my head to the left.

Moving stuff... I got all my shit out of storage, finally. Moving refrigerators and crap like that sucks, especially on a muggy day like this. I'm glad to be done with that. That's one less bill I have to pay. Today would be a good day to sit out in the sun and drink beer. Too bad I can't afford any. Being broke sucks.

Something... People always say I look angry, or upset, about something. I always wonder why nobody ever talks to me at gigs, or anywhere else. Whenever I ask my friends they always say that I intimidate people. If that's true then why do I have friends? They aren't intimidated, are they? Geez, do I scare my friends?! And if so, why?! It's not like I go out of my way to be intimidating... I guess I'm just lonely right now... And wondering why... Fuck, I guess I really am afraid to find out. It seems that I'm doomed to be a pariah of sorts. So, be it... F.T.K. Eh, Lare? ;-) LOL! Sigh...

Flogging Molly Do yourself a favor and get their latest album. Wow.

Grrr... So, I have all this shit in storage (the fridge from my old apt, boxes, a sofa, etc). The storage place is kinda lame, in that they don't send you a bill; it's up to the people renting the units to remember when and how much to pay each month. So, naturally, I forget all the time and owe late fees. So, a couple of weeks back they called and said that I owed $25 more in late fees then I had sent in. Okay, no prob. I send a check, the check clears. All good, right? No. See, I have been clearing space in my Mom's garage for all the crap that's in storage, so I won't have to keep paying those assholes. I went and rented a U-Haul today to get my shit, but guess what? The fuckers have a lock on my unit, which is fully paid up. Seems they are very willing to lock up my stuff, but oh so forgetfull when I've paid. And, being Memorial Day, there's no one in the office. $55 bucks for a rental truck, down the drain. Boy, am I pissed off right now!

My bad... It should be sake, not saki. Chalk it up to the hangover...

Inevitablility Lare's forgotten that he's not required to do anything, and that there is always an alternative choice in everything, if you look for it. He's worried that his action, or inaction, may be wrong. He has forgotten his Zen.

Mystery Why is it that when you really want to sleep in people call you first thing in the morning? First it's my cousin from Florida calling to ask that my Mom call my Aunt. I'm in California. Which means that when she thinks it's 11:30AM, it's really 7:30AM, as far as I'm concerned. Next is my sister calling from... somewhere. My sister is a flight attendant, so I'm never quite sure where she is, but she lives outside Chicago (which is why I'm going out there for a couple of weeks). So let's assume she's home and decided to call me at noon, her time, to tell me my flight out there is booked. That's 9:00AM here. Worse yet, if she is at home, couldn't she just have emailed me the flight info?

Two weeks in Chicago... It looks like my planned week in Chicago for my b-day has turned into two (maybe three?) weeks. Looks like I'll be gone for most of June. Mmm, good pizza... The music ain't too bad either, but I don't know if I can stand to be away from my Mac that long. Or my DSL line. At least I'll have my music with me.

Uncommon courtesy The worst part of being unemployed these days is the feeling of total futility you get when you send out your resume. I have been told that once upon a time it was customary for companies to reply to people who sent in resumes, even if only to tell them they received the resume, or the position had been filled. It seems like that custom is only practiced by a few companies now. Recruiters are the worst. Especially when they insist on a meeting/interview with you, and make a big deal about how they are going to work really hard on getting you a great job. Then you never hear from them again. Ever. There are times when I have begun to wonder if my mail server is fucked up. I send all these emails with my resume attached. What happens to them? Are they not getting through? Or is it just that the people getting them aren't nice enough to let me know. Hell, it's not that hard to set up an auto reply to at least let people know that the resume got there and will be looked at. Only a hand full of companies sent replies (of thousands of messages I have sent). One actually sent me a letter, not just an email! I was shocked. Trying to find work these days is like sending a message in a bottle into a black hole and hoping someone will respond.

Mmm, sleep... It's amazing what a good nights sleep can do. Of course, having to hear my nephew's hip-hop shit blaring in the next room is getting old, especially when I'm trying to listen to the new Flogging Molly album (which is excellent, BTW). (Must... control... fist... of... death!!!) Of course, being the BOFH that I am I could just activate the program I have on his iMac that will randomly crash iTunes... But that would be wrong. And besides, he turned it down before I had a chance to do it.

Before I forget... I think I know what set this whole day up as a bummer. I had a fucked up dream last night in which I was chasing after the Holy Grail. Think of a mix between the movie Excalubur and Monty Python & the Quest for the Holy Grail, and add a touch of Looney Tunes. That's what it was like. Throughout the dream really horrible shit is happening to me, all because of my quest. If I wasn't chasing the stupid thing none of the bad things would happen to me, but I keep going. Now, the really fucked up thing is that the whole time I'm chasing this stupid glowing cup, I know it is an illusion; it doesn't exsist. And yet I kept chasing it. I'm not sure what it means but I'm pretty sure it isn't good.

Irony... After making my car payment I will have no money, which means I can't put gas in the car I just made a payment on, which means I can't go anywhere with it, so what's the point? Damn, today sucked. I'm going to sleep.
Posted at 19:21 # G
That's it, now I've seen everything... Just when you thought you've seen it all, this happens. I'm done for the day folks. Millitant Buddhist monks is where I draw the line. I'll be playing FinalFantasy X and ignoring the phone for the rest of the day...

More good news...

And so much for that... It's kind of hard to plead your case when everyone is in a meeting, the person you need to talk to is booked all day, and everyone is going to be at a conference all next week. In fact the best I could get was a meeting for June 3rd, but of course my addmisions fee must be in by the 1st. It's crap like this that makes me not want to go back to school.
Posted at 11:30 # G
Sigh... So, today I have to go plead my case to Chapman University as to why they should admit someone who's academic career was a shitty as mine. I'm hoping that my credit rating counts for something here, especially given what tuition will cost me. Yikes. I'm not really excited about going back to school after so many years, but we'll see...

Silly girl...
I honestly don't care what Lysa posts in here. I wanted to do this for my own amusement and thought I'd sucker, er, ah, see if anyone else felt compelled. Whatever. :-P
BTW, chickens without feathers are the ugliest damn things.

Well, lookie there...
It looks like Lare figured out how to blog.
Posted at 20:02 # G
WTF? Caffinated soap. I shit you not. You can't make this shit up...
Posted at 14:40 # G
Hmmm I need to make the main blog page note when someone's blog had been updated. Then people can just check that page and see if it's changed to know what to look at...

Cash money... I actually made some dough from my shareware app! I'm quite shocked, really. Not that I don't think it's a good app, but that enough people bought it that I got a check from kagi. Pretty nifty. Now I just need to come up with a new idea that will sell better...
Posted at 14:02 # G
D'oh! Alright, I'm lame. I went and put up the links for the band members blogs, adding Rick's wife to the list and then forgetting our new guitarist, Lare. My bad.

This is a test... This is just a test to see if I managed to get the FTP users set up correctly for this blogging stuff...

Ed's first blog post... Well, setting up this blogging stuff was easy. Now to see if anyone bothers to use it. Probably not. My ideas for the web site tend to get ignored or met with hostility by others, so this is probably effort that has gone to waste, at least as far as anyone else is concerned, but I plan to use this blog, so there. I don't know what the problem is, really. It's just that every time I have an idea to make the site more usable and interesting it gets shot down. Like the time I wanted to replace our current, incredibly shitty, guestbook (which I won't even post a link to here) with one hosted locally. That got ignored, even though we lose entries in the current one, as it only saves the past 400 messages (how lame is that?) and since it's performace SUCKS ASS. And it's hosted in SWEDEN for fucks sake! SWEDEN! I've nothing against Sewden, but we have the capacity to do this ourselves, shouldn't we use what we have (and that I pay for, thank you very much)? Or what about the time I wanted to add a message board to the site? Boy did I get flamed for that one! Why? It was too complicated. Sigh. And people wonder that I'm grumpy all the time...
